CHECKPOINT SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Checkpoint Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All material intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited and do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 1993 for the most recent disclosure of the Company's accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at June 26, 1994 and December 26, 1993 and its results of operations and changes in cash flows for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993. 2. INVENTORIES June 26, December 26, 1994 1993 -------- --------- (Thousands) Raw materials $ 6,098 $ 8,256 Work in process 1,712 705 Finished goods 21,048 16,489 ------- ------- $28,858 $25,450 ======= ======= Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Cost includes material, labor and applicable overhead. 3. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided for on an interim basis at an estimated effective annual tax rate principally on earnings from the Company's U.S. operations. Earnings generated by the operations of the Company's Puerto Rico subsidiary are substantially exempt from U.S. Federal income taxes under Section 936 of the Internal Revenue Code and substantially exempt from Puerto Rico income taxes. In 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" was adopted. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted statutory tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 4. PER SHARE DATA Per share data is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares (stock options) outstanding during the periods. The number of shares used in the per share computations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993 were 10,722,000 and 10,613,000 (1994) and 10,343,000 and 10,436,000 (1993), respectively. CHECKPOINT SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) 5. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash payments for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively, included interest payments of $494,000 and $896,000 (1994), and $212,000 and $276,000 (1993), and income taxes paid of $17,000 and $124,000 (1994), and $97,000 and $140,000 (1993). Excluded from the 1994 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is a non-cash activity relating to the acquisition of a licensing agreement in which the Company recorded the full cost of the agreement and the associated liability. 6. INTANGIBLES Intangibles consist of patents, licenses, customer lists, and software development costs. The costs relating to the acquisition of patents and licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic useful lives, which is considered to be ten years. Accumulated amortization approximated $1,179,000 and $473,000 at June 26, 1994 and December 26, 1993, respectively. The costs of internally developed software is expensed until the technological feasibility of the software has been established. Thereafter, all additional software development costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The cost of capitalized software is amortized over the products' estimated useful lives or five years, whichever is shorter. During the first half of 1994, $391,000 of software development costs were capitalized. Accumulated amortization of these costs approximated $727,000 and $444,000 at June 26, 1994 and December 26, 1993, respectively. 7. ACQUISITIONS On July 8, 1993, the Company purchased all the outstanding capital stock of ID Systems International B.V. and ID Systems Europe B.V., related Dutch companies engaged in the manufacture, distribution and sale of security products and services ("ID Systems Group"). In connection with this acquisition, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 1993. The following table represents unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the first half of 1994 and 1993, as if the acquisition of the ID Systems Group had occurred at the beginning of 1993. Other acquisitions made during 1993 were not material to the results of operations and thus are not presented. The following results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated as of that date or of future results: Six Months (26 weeks) Ended ----------------------------- June 26, June 27, 1994 1993 ------------- ------------- (Thousands, except per share data) Net revenues.................................$54,879 $44,434 Net earnings (loss)..........................$ 1,594 $(4,245) Earnings (loss) per common share.............$ .15 $ (.44) CHECKPOINT SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) 8. ACCOUNTING FOR FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS The Company's balance sheet accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues, costs and expenses of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rate of exchange in effect during each reporting period. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity. In addition, gains or losses on long-term intercompany transactions are excluded from the results of operations and accumulated in the aforementioned separate component of consolidated stockholders' equity. All other foreign transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations. The Company has purchased certain foreign currency forward contracts in order to hedge anticipated rate fluctuations in Europe. Transaction gains or losses resulting from these contracts are recognized over the contract period. Aggregate foreign currency transaction losses are included in "Other Income (Expense)" in the Consolidated Earnings Statement. 9. LONG-TERM DEBT On March 23, 1994, the Company issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $12,000,000 to two insurance companies pursuant to a Note Agreement dated as of March 1, 1994. The notes bear interest at 8.27% with interest payable semi-annually on April 1, and October 1 of each year with the first interest payment due October 1, 1994. Three principle amounts of $4,000,000 each are due April 1, 2000, and April 1, 2001, with the final payment due April 1, 2002. The notes are uncollateralized and rank equally with the Company's other funded debt. 10. CONTINGENCIES On March 10, 1993, the United States International Trade Commission instituted an investigation of a complaint filed by the Company under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. On March 10, 1994, the United States International Trade Commission issued a Notice of Commission Determination Not to Review An Initial Determination Finding No Violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The Company has capitalized approximately $2,000,000 in patent defense costs, which is included in "Intangibles". The Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on May 6, 1994. Although the Company's management ultimately expects a favorable outcome, should resolution of this matter result in less than a successful defense of the patents in question the deferred patent costs noted above will be written off as a charge to earnings at the time of such resolution. Such an event could impact the Company's ability to meet its financial covenant relating to net earnings under several loan agreements. CHECKPOINT SYSTEMS, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents increased during the first half of 1994 from zero to a balance of $1,272,000. For a detailed analysis of the Company's sources and uses of cash from operating, investing, and financing activities refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in this report. Below is a discussion that further enhances the Statements of Cash Flows. Long term customer contracts increased $762,000 during the first half of 1994 compared to the same period last year ($890,000 versus $128,000). Depreciation and amortization increased $1,484,000 during the first half of 1994 compared to the same period last year ($3,980,000 versus $2,496,000). Depreciation increased principally as a result of investments in manufacturing equipment and management information systems. Increases in amortization resulted from various purchased intangibles, including software development cost and the cost of patents, licenses, and trademarks, and the purchase of a customer list. In addition, goodwill generated from acquisitions made throughout 1993 have increased amortization expense. Accounts receivable increased $3,067,000 resulting from significantly increased revenues posted in the first half, representing a 44% increase in revenues compared to the first half of 1993. Property, plant and equipment expenditures decreased $162,000 during the first half of 1994 compared to the same period last year ($2,389,000 versus $2,551,000). Planned additional capital investments for the remainder of the year are estimated at $1.1 million. The expenditures for 1994 include the purchase of equipment for the Company's research and development activities, information systems to support international growth, and expansion of manufacturing equipment for the Electronic SignaturesR facilities in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Inventories increased $3,409,000 as a result of anticipated sales for the remainder of the year in addition to a significant expansion of the Company's product offerings. Other investing activities increased $1,649,000 as a result of a licensing agreement relating to fluid tags, further capitalization of software development costs net of amortization incurred, purchases of product licenses, and increased lease receivables. As of June 26, 1994, the current ratio was 2.5 to 1. The quick ratio was 1.2 to 1. The debt-to-equity ratio was 1.0 to 1. During the first quarter of 1994, the Company completed a private placement debt funding of $12,000,000. A significant portion of the proceeds were used to pay down existing debt under the Company's long-term revolving credit facility. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. Management continues to evaluate additional funding options in order to support continuing worldwide growth. As of June 26, 1994, the Company had $3,200,000 available under a revolving credit facility. The Company has never paid a cash dividend and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. CHECKPOINT SYSTEMS, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Results of Operations --------------------- Second Quarter 1994 Compared to Second Quarter 1993 --------------------------------------------------- Net revenues for the current quarter increased 59% to $28,656,000 compared to $18,026,000 for the second quarter of 1993. As a percent of net revenues, domestic and foreign net revenues were 58% and 42%, respectively, compared to 72% and 28% for the second quarter of 1993. Domestic Electronic Article MerchandisingR (EAM)R net revenues increased $3,319,000 or 28% with foreign EAM net revenues increasing $6,909,000 or 137% when compared to the second quarter of 1993. The increase in domestic net revenues was due to several significant sales to current and new retailers in addition to higher selling prices. The increase in foreign net revenues resulted primarily from the Company's direct presence in Western Europe, increased sales from the Company's foreign subsidiaries in Canada, Mexico, and Argentina, and increased sales to the Company's foreign distributors located throughout the world. In July 1993, the Company purchased the entire share capital of ID Systems International B.V. and ID Systems Europe B.V., (the "ID Systems Group") related Dutch companies engaged in the manufacture, distribution and sale of security products and services (refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Prior to the acquisition of the ID Systems Group, sales in Western Europe were made through an independent distributor. As a result of this acquisition, sales to Western Europe for the second quarter of 1994 totalled $6,100,000 as compared to $201,000 for the second quarter of 1993 by one former distributor. Net earnings were $1,067,000 or $.10 per share versus net earnings of $884,000 or $.09 per share for the similar quarter last year. The primary factors contributing to the increase were the 59% increase in revenues and the 9.1% increase in the gross profit margin. During the second quarter of 1993, and as a result of the Company terminating an exclusive distribution agreement with their distributor in Western Europe, the Company recorded $3,500,000 in contract settlement income. The 9.1% increase in the gross profit margin (47.3% versus 38.2%) was due to: overall higher selling prices achieved primarily as a result of selling direct into the international markets in which former distributors enjoyed wholesale pricing; decreased product cost as a result of manufacturing efficiencies; and, decreased technology expenses slightly offset by an increase in field service expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,865,000 an increase of 8.6% as a percent of sales (41.7% versus 50.3%) compared to the second quarter of 1993. The increase of $2,865,000 over the prior year's quarter is primarily attributable to directly selling in foreign markets previously served by distributors. The income tax rate is based on an estimated annual tax rate of 25%. The current quarter's rate is higher than the 22% rate used in the prior year's second quarter as a result of the projected impact of foreign taxable earnings which are currently taxed at a higher rate than domestic earnings. CHECKPOINT SYSTEMS, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Results of Operations --------------------- First Half 1994 Compared to First Half 1993 ------------------------------------------- Net revenues increased 44% to $54,879,000 compared to $38,042,000 recorded in the first half of 1993. As a percent of net revenues, domestic and export net revenues were 60% and 40% compared to 67% and 33% for the similar period last year. Domestic Electronic Article MerchandisingR (EAM)R net revenues increased $6,838,000 or 29% and export EAM net revenues increased $9,393,000 or 74% when compared to the first half of 1993. The domestic revenue growth resulted from significant sales of sensors and deactivation equipment to new customers as well as a increased sales of disposable targets to new and existing customers. The Company's direct presence in Western Europe contributed $6,778,000 of the $9,393,000 increase in foreign revenues with the remainder attributed to the Company's subsidiaries in Argentina, Australia, Canada, and Mexico combined with other distributors located worldwide. Net earnings were $1,594,000 or $.15 per share versus net earnings of $1,391,000 or $.13 per share for the similar period last year. The primary factors contributing to the increase were the 44% increase in revenues and the 6.0% increase in the gross profit margin. In addition, during the first half of 1993, the Company recorded $3,500,000 in contract settlement income. The 6.0% increase in the gross profit margin (47.0% versus 41.0%) over the first half of 1993 was primarily due to: overall higher selling prices achieved primarily as a result of selling direct into the international markets in which former distributors enjoyed wholesale pricing, and decreased product cost as a result of manufacturing efficiencies. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5,874,000 but decreased 3.1% as a percent of sales (41.8% versus 44.9%) compared to the first half of 1993. The increase in expenditures over the prior year's comparable period is primarily attributable to directly selling in foreign markets previously served by distributors. The income tax rate is based on an estimated annual tax rate of 25%. This rate is higher than the 22% rate used during the first half of 1993 as a result of the projected impact of foreign taxable earnings which are currently taxed at a higher rate than domestic earnings. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On March 10, 1993, the United States International Trade Commission ("Commission") instituted an investigation of a complaint filed by the Company under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The complaint, as amended, alleged that six respondents imported, sold for importation, or sold in the United States after importation certain anti-theft deactivatable resonant tags and components thereof that infringed certain U.S. Letters Patents of which the Company is exclusive licensee. The Commission's notice of investigation named six respondents, each of whom was alleged to have committed one or more unfair acts in the importation or sale of components or finished tags that infringe the asserted patent claims. Those respondents are: Actron AG; Tokai Denshi Co. Ltd.; ADT, Limited; All Tag Security AG; Toyo Aluminum Ltd.; and Custom Security Industries, Inc. On March 10, 1994 the United States International Trade Commission issued a Notice of Commission Determination Not to Review An Initial Determination Finding No Violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on May 6, 1994. Although the Company ultimately expects a favorable outcome, should resolution of this matter result in less than a successful defense of the patents in question the deferred patent costs of approximately $2,000,000 will be written off as a charge to earnings at the time of such resolution. Such an event could impact the Company's ability to meet its financial covenant relating to net earnings under several loan agreements. Item 6.
